I have had very useful information from many of you out there but this time I have to ask very serious questions.
November last year, my company was acquired by a rather large company in New York (this is global company and has many agencies in the world). I was in the middle of green card application process and my LCA was approved early December last year.
All the management staffs and employees stay the same and all of us including myself are doing the same type of work. Only the ownership/name change happened in the company.
Since I am the only one working with H1 visa in the agency, company headquarter filed amended H1 petition for me (which was really not necessary anyway). However, they are giving me a hard time for me to go to the next step in green card application process. My attorney filled out all the forms for I-140 and we have all the documents including medical exams ready but the new company HR department refuses to sign the form and some sort of sworn letter explaining ownership changes.
They claim that they don’t sponsor any green card except top level managers.
Sponsorship is really important in filing I-140?
What would be the best solution for this situation?
Do I have to find a new job? I have gone more than ½ of the whole process but do I have to start all over again with different company?
Is there any one who had pretty much the same situation and had best solution?
I am really frustrated by this stupid BS attitude of the company.
Any suggestions/advices would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tom
